What is Thai Yoga Massage ?
Thai Yoga Massage is a powerful and deeply penetrating massage therapy, combining acupressure, gentle stretching and applied Yoga.Traditional Thai Massage is based on a belief in a life force or ’energy’ that circulates around specific pathways. This is almost certainly derived from the indian yogic system who call this energy ‘prana’. A Full Thai Yoga massage lasts for 1.5- 2 hours but an hour treatment using Thai Massage techniques is also possible. It takes place on a soft futon mat, you do not need to remove your clothes. treatment begins working on energy lines and pressure points in the feet, setting up a relaxing rhythm in the movement so that you can start to breathe more deeply, open up and switch off. The Thai massage treatment then works up through the body finishing on the head.

What’s different to traditional massage?
One of the reasons Thai Massage is so effective, is that it stretches and stimulates the whole physical and energy system.Thai massage is different from more traditional massage because it combines many techniques including mobilisations, trigger points or pressure point release and other more traditional massage techniques. This works to release tension in the whole body and is much more effective than one technique on it’s own. The body is an integrated system – pain in the knee may be due to a problem in the hip joint – by working on the whole body, the problem can be tackled at the root.
